A new Sun position widget has been added, complementing the Sunrise and Sunset widgets. This section of widgets is now named "Sun position":

Menu → Configure screen → Widgets → Add widget → Sun Position → Sun position, Sunrise, Sunset.

"Sun Position" widget displays the time until sunrise or sunset, based on the current time. This widget offers the following settings:

Missing maps download

OsmAnd now alerts you if some maps between your start point and destination are missing. It's important to ensure that all maps are up to date and of the same release date for a consistent navigation experience.
